Sewing Instructions:
*Before you get started, I suggest you start with your blocks pressed and a full bobbin. This will make your Sugar Bloom quilt layout assembly come together super fast.
Join white background rectangle 2 1/2″ x 12 1/2″ to the bottom of 3 blocks with 1/4″ seam allowance. Press and join blocks together to create layout in diagram. Repeat to make in each color option.
Following the diagram, pair block units to white background rectangles (2 1/2″ x 28″ and 2 1/2″ x 16″) with 1/4″ seam allowance; press and repeat to complete 4 color units.
Using your quilting ruler and rotary cutter, trim the corner block on a 45° angle from corner to corner. Attach sub cut gray triangles with 1/4″ seam allowance as diagram. Repeat to all 4 units.
Using 1/4″ seam allowance, pair two gray triangle units together with a full WOF white jelly roll strip. Press seam allowance towards white rectangle. Repeat to create two large triangles.

Join the last two full WOF white jelly roll strips to the 2 1/2″ gray square, press seam allowance. Match center square with white corner strips and join the final two units together for a complete Sugar Bloom quilt top.
